As life returned to a semblance of normalcy on Earth after the survival game vanished from the skies, people were forced to return to the harsh realities of their fragmented world.
In the apocalyptic cities, where ruins dominated the landscape, survivors once again faced the ever-present threat of the fleshers—mutated humans whose minds had long been consumed by the plague.
In the dense forests, where nature had reclaimed its dominion, people contended with wild beasts that had grown more dangerous since the outbreak of the apocalypse.
While in the few remaining peaceful cities, those fortunate enough to be shielded from the chaos continued their lives, blissfully unaware of the constant struggles beyond their borders.
Suddenly, again, the sky itself seemed to ripple with an otherworldly presence once more.
It began with a flicker, then a bright light burst through the clouds, capturing the attention of every living being on Earth.
